50440 2002-05-24 01:06:00 I just turned my computer off and unplugged everything so I could move it all to clean underneath (wife is doing a big springclean). Plugged it all in again and now every 1/2 minute or so everything seems to freeze for about 2 or 3 seconds. Mouse pointer won't move, can't type anything... it might be just while I'm online.

Any suggestions? I haven't changed anything, just unplugged stuff and now plugged it all back in again. Its very annoying.

50441 2002-05-24 01:22:00 Ah! No need to respond now, as I tried doing a restart - had all sorts of problems shutting down, but once it eventually restarted all is well.

I have a feeling it might have been something to do with the USB plugs being switched while it was off - sounds strange, but there was an error message about a USB port when I first turned it on. After the restart all seems to be well :)

Thanks for you help guys LOL

50442 2002-05-24 03:20:00 You ought to know by now: if you disturb *anything*, it wakes up the bugs who have been sleeping inside the computer. Guest (0)
50443 2002-05-24 03:47:00 .... and if you do *anything* on someone elses computer, the bugs KNOW you aren't the owner and work even harder to mess up things, usually completely unrelated , but try telling that to the owner lol

Uh oh, you know what that means, don't you Mike?

Hope everything goes well, when it happens :-)
